As Jaishankar calls out Pakistan over terrorism, J&K sees spate of attacks

As S Jaishankar started his second term as external affairs minister, he highlighted the issue of Pakistan-linked terrorism.

Jaishankar said India wants to find a solution to cross-border terrorism. He added that terror cannot be the policy of a good neighbour.

The statement comes at a time when there has been a rise in terror incidents. Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed three terrorist attacks in the last three days.

First, a bus carrying pilgrims was attacked, leaving nine dead in Reasi. Following this, a CRPF jawan was killed and six security personnel were injured in two overnight encounters with terrorists in Kathua and Doda districts.

In Doda district, five troopers of Rashtriya Rifles and a special police officer (SPO) were injured when terrorists attacked a joint check post in the upper reaches of Chattergalla on the Bhaderwah-Pathankot road.

On the other hand, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan Kabir Dass was critically injured in a firing by a terrorist holed up in Kathua district's Saida Sukhal village around 3 am, officials said, adding the soldier was shifted to a hospital where he succumbed to injuries during treatment.
